Former reporter loses 250 pounds and becomes a Texas deputy

MONTGOMERY COUNTY, Texas – Former reporter and blogger Chad Dodge lost 250 pounds to answer his “calling” and become a deputy at the Montgomery County Constables Office, Texas.

Dodge’s passion for law enforcement sparked when he was covering a story at the Montgomery County Police Academy a few years ago.

Appearing on “Fox & Friends” Thursday, he told host Ainsley Earhardt: “Just covering a lot of stories about law enforcement and becoming friends with a lot of law enforcement agencies and their workers. And, I realized that that’s what I wanted to do. It was a calling.”

Law Officer is the only major law enforcement publication and website owned and operated by law enforcement. This unique facet makes Law Officer much more than just a publishing company but is a true advocate for the profession.
